DLTK's Crafts for KidsMittens Paper Craft

This craft is suitable for households that don't celebrate Christmas
(and for those that do!). A good story to read while
making this craft is "The
Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens". (close 3 kittens

Materials:

Optional materials:

something hard as a base (a margarine container lid or cardboard
from a cereal box work well).

sparkle glue or sparkles.

ribbon, string or wool.

Instructions:

Print out the craft template of choice.

Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.

There is a left and right mitten, decoration (piece with hearts
and snowflake) and cuff (striped piece).

You can colour the decorations with sparkle glue or sparkles if
desired.

If you want, you can trace the left and right mitten template pieces
onto a piece of fun foam to make a more permanent craft. Or you
can glue the mitten template pieces to a hard base (cardboard).

Glue the left decoration and right decoration onto the left mitten
and right mitten respectively.

Glue the left cuff and right cuff onto the left mitten and right
mitten respectively.

At this point, you can either:

Attach one end of a string, ribbon or wool to each mitten so
you can hang on the Christmas tree (either by poking a hole in the
base and threading the string through or by attaching well with
tape). It looks like the mittens little kids wear so they
don't lose them.
